We’re a loving, energetic couple who have always felt called to adopt. After a lot of prayer and reflection, we know this is the path meant for us in growing our family. Becoming parents has been a lifelong dream, and we have so much love, joy, and support to share.
Our home is filled with laughter, faith, and a strong sense of togetherness.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us as we can’t wait to get to know you — we’re truly honored and excited for the journey ahead.
About Us
We met in April 2023 and married not long after (September 2024). We quickly realized that we had a lot in common for interests, hobbies, and activities, but most importantly we shared a very strong foundation about life. It has made it very easy for us to grow a long-lasting connection, build on our core values, and have a strong meaningful love for one another. When you marry your best friend, being able to share small and big adventures and create lasting memories is what makes our life full. This is also what brought us to adoption. We are missing that family piece. We want to share our love for life as a family.

Our Home in North Carolina
We recently bought our first home in North Carolina. We bought this home with the plans to grow our family in it. Our neighborhood is safe, spacious, and quiet. We have the beach in one direction and the mountains in the other!

About Kayla
Jordan says: Kayla was born and raised in Northern Minnesota with her 3 siblings. She grew up in nature playing outside until dark, swimming until she was pruned, and playing teacher into her early teenage years.
What I love about Kayla:
Kayla has spent her whole life dedicated to children. She started out as the neighborhood babysitter, a nanny for a family of 4, and then got a degree in Early Childhood & Education that led her to teach children for 12 years. For the last 4 years she has worked remotely as a Hiring Director where she builds a meaningful connection and relationship with strangers in a very short period of time, which is a rare quality she has. Kayla is going to do the most rewarding job yet and be a stay-at-home mom. She looks forward to being able to care for our baby, witnessing all the milestones, and providing enriching experiences together.

About Jordan
Kayla says: Jordan was born into a military family where he got to live in many different states. He grew up playing outside with his brother, taking family vacations to the ocean and mountains, and learned early on that it’s not where you live but who you are surrounded by that is important.
What I love about Jordan:
Jordan has been in the US Military for 4 years. This is a calling that has been passed down through his grandfather, father, and uncle. He serves his country with pride, dedication, and passion. No matter the situation, Jordan shows up for his family, his fellow team, and tackles any task asked of him with confidence.

Our Promise
Thank you for taking the time to learn about us. We admire you for considering adoption for your child. We know this is not an easy decision, and we don’t take it lightly. Our hearts are full of respect and gratitude for you.
We share a deep, loving, and supportive relationship. From the very beginning of our life together, we’ve dreamed of becoming parents. We realized that adoption is not our “second choice” but something we have both been called to do.
We want to adopt because we are ready to give a child a home filled with endless laughter, love, and opportunity. We want to nurture a child’s spirit, encourage their dreams, and help them grow into who they are meant to be. We promise to be honest, patient, kind, and to provide a safe and stable environment.
If you choose us, we want you to know that we will honor you in our family’s story. Your love will always be part of your child’s life. We are open to having a relationship that feels right for you.
Thank you again for considering us. No matter what decision you make, we wish you peace and strength in the journey ahead.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.
With love and respect,
Jordan & Kayla

More About Our Family
Our Pets
We’re lucky to share our lives with two amazing pups who bring joy, laughter, and endless cuddles to our home.
-Nash is our 5-year-old Pitbull/Shepherd mix. We rescued him when he was just 6 weeks old, and he’s been our gentle, handsome boy ever since. He’s the ultimate couch potato—quiet, easygoing, and always down for a nap. But don’t let that fool you, he loves car rides, playing fetch, going on walks, and spending time with kids. Nash is the definition of a loyal, laid-back best friend.
-Georgia is our 3-year-old Pitbull/Terrier mix with a personality as big as her heart. We rescued her at 9 months old, and she hasn’t stopped making us laugh since. She’s full of energy, love, and affection—if she’s not breathing the same air as you, she’s not close enough! Georgia loves wrestling with Nash, chewing on bones, being outside, and most of all, snuggling with her humans (especially the little ones).
Together, Nash and Georgia are the perfect mix of sweet, silly, and snuggly and we couldn’t imagine life without them.
Top 3 thoughts on Parenthood
1. We believe that parenthood is a profound transformation, not just a role.
Becoming a parent reshapes who you are. It’s not just simply about raising a child, but it’s about re-raising yourself in a sense. Parenthood demands a shift from self-centered living to selfless nurturing. It’s a journey of deep self-discovery, teaching patience, empathy, and resilience through both its challenges and joys. It’s a process of continuous learning and adaptation. The bond and love between parent and child are powerful, unwavering, and transformative. It's a journey we cannot wait to be a part of.
2. Legacy
We believe parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s development and future. Some of what we pass on comes from the way we were raised and values instilled in us. But parenthood also offers the opportunity to break cycles, to change what didn’t serve us growing up. Through the lessons we teach, the values we live by, and the love we give, we leave a lasting impact; one that helps shape the kind of adults our children become. We are so excited to pass on that legacy.
3. In Parenthood, you will fail sometimes and that’s okay.
We know in parenthood mistakes are inevitable. What truly matters to us is showing up, learning, apologizing, and trying again. We believe children don’t need perfect parents; they need present ones. It's not about perfection, but in your willingness to grow alongside your child. We are willing to grow!
Our Values
Our values are deeply important to us. It is something we strive to grow in each and every day. We believe in being kind to others, doing what is right, and never taking a single day for granted. We value trustworthiness shown through actions and words, loving one another unconditionally, and maintaining open, honest communication. We show patience and forgiveness. We prioritize intentional quality time. We use teamwork to overcome challenges and hit goals we have set. These principles guide how we live, love, and connect with the world around us.
Plans For Childcare
Kayla says: I’d like to share with you why I’ve chosen to be a stay-at-home mom if we are chosen. I believe that in the early years, children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and consistently cared for. Being at home full-time will allow me to be fully present for all the small and important moments: the feedings, first steps, bedtime stories, and tears that need comforting. I want to create a calm, nurturing environment where our child feels secure, loved unconditionally, and deeply bonded to a parent who is always there. I plan to provide social interactions where they can still be a kid and learn from other children as well. Play dates are a must and having friends and family as support and back up if needed are available to us.
In Closing
Adoption is something we’ve been called to with open hearts and a deep sense of purpose. Our desire to adopt comes from a place of love and hope to grow our family in a way that honors both the child and their birth family. We believe that every child deserves a life filled with stability, opportunity, and unconditional love, and we are fully committed to providing that.
We are also open to an open adoption because we believe in honesty, connection, and the importance of identity. We recognize that a child’s story doesn’t begin with us, and we want to honor their past as much as we embrace their future. Open adoption gives a child the gift of knowing where they come from, and it gives everyone involved the chance to build something rooted in respect, trust, and shared love for the child.
More than anything, we want this child to grow up knowing they are surrounded by love—from us, their birth family, and the community we create together. That’s what family means to us.
